I appreciate Mr. Walter Trout sharing his stage with me. He truly is a leader recognizing talent and is selfless in support of talented artists working to have a career. God bless him ❤
Very moved by Walter. I went into V.A hospital rehab that was supposed to be for 30 days.i had cirrhosis of the liver and was having seizures so they kept me for 7 months. I came out and got into recovery and became a substance abuse counselor with 40 years sobriety. Nice thing about life is we can start over anytime.
I used to see Walter live every week when I lived in Southern California back in the 90's. I got to know him quite well, and regarded Jimmy Trapp(RIP) as a friend too. Walter called my name out in the middle of three different concerts when I saw him in Europe, and remains one of the most entertaining and talented live performers I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Thank God you're still with us, Walter...🙏
I found Walter through John Mayall and have followed his career ever since so thanks for this great interview, he seems a very genuine and humble guy. RIP John Mayall.
same here i always said these two guitar players should have their own band. I felt they were under rated and just needed a break to bust out on their own.. Love them both.Walter and Coco
Me too, I was sold after hearing "Life in the Jungle" and the other track that Walter played on, on Mayall's "Chicago Line" and then had to buy everything that he ever released.
This is incredible. I want you all to know that you are doing amazing work at Blues Rock Review. This is the best content I've found anywhere on blues rock, which I am researching fairly constantly as the editor and head writer of Blues Notes for the Blues Society of Omaha. You are knocking it out of the park on a regular basis, and I appreciate your work.
He's a great interviewer. Asked great questions and let Walter do most of the talking. Many thumbs up. I saw a young Jake Kershaw sit in with Walter Trout and his son trading licks. Great mentoring.
Walters advice is honest and straight from the heart. It is something he has always felt whether he had expressed it or not, as to what makes a great guitar player. He is a true inspiration to everyone. As he mentioned upcoming Blues players, I wonder if he has ever heard of Eric Steckel, Virgil and the Accelerators, Jay Jesse Johnson, Davy Knowles, Jay Gordon, Lance Lopez, Martin Andersen (Blindstone) and Eric Gales. These are some of the greatest, brilliant, unknown Blues guitarist alive today. It's a shame they are mostly all unknown to the public.
